Miss your relatives during the festive season, especially the lively and happy Chinese New Year. In this traditional moment of reunion and rejoicing, people alwaysLooking forward to blessings and greetings from family and friendsHowever, working in the system, have you ever felt a little cold and confused?Why do few of those colleagues who get along with each other day and night take the initiative to contact you during the Chinese New Year?
Behind this phenomenon, there are actually multiple factors hidden. We might as well analyze them one by one from the following aspects:
1. The disconnect between workplace culture and holiday atmosphere
The work environment within the system often has its own unique workplace culture, and this culture is to some extentIt shapes the way colleagues interact with each other
On weekdays, you may be used to itDo your job and perform your own dutiesand the warmth of the holiday season doesn't always blend perfectly with this workplace culture.
Therefore, even during the Spring Festival, colleagues may be accustomed to the workplaceFormal and distant, and failed to adjust to a relaxed festival state in time, so naturally there was less of thatPassion for proactive connection.
2. Respect for personal space and privacy
With modern people rightPersonal space and privacyThe growing importance of many people on the holidaysPrefer to enjoy intimate time with family or take advantage of a rare vacation to recharge and relax
In this state of mind, even among colleagues, they will consciously or unconsciously maintain a certain levelDistanceso as not to disturb itEach other's personal time.
Therefore, not reaching out doesn't necessarily mean estrangement from the relationship, sometimes it just isA kind of respect for each other's private space.
3. Social anxiety and communication disorders
It is undeniable that in modern society,Social anxietyhas become a widespread problem.
A lot of people do when it comes to interpersonal interactionsFeeling stressed and uncomfortable, especially in needUnsolicit a connectionoccasions. This anxiety can be during the holiday seasonis magnified,Because at this time, people are more looking forward to receiving greetings and blessings from others, and when this expectation is disappointed, they will feel itLoss and insecurity
Within the system, due to the peculiarities of the nature of the work,The competitive pressure of colleagues can sometimes turn into social barriers, making people more cautious about whether or not to reach out to colleagues during the holidays.
Fourth, the conflict between traditional customs and the rhythm of modern society
As an important traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival carries a profound cultural heritage and rich customs. However, with the accelerated pace of modern society,Many traditional customs are gradually being diluted, and insteadMore concise and efficientThe way the festival is celebrated.
In this context, people also have a sense of interpersonal interaction during the festivalNew perceptions and expectations。Some people may think that they can have a period after a busy workdayUninterrupted breaksis more precious, so I don't tend to reach out to colleagues on holidays.
Fifth, the double-edged sword effect of digital communication methods
With the development of technology, the ways in which people communicate with each other are becoming more and more diverse. WeChat, SMS, emailand other digital communication tools not only bring convenience, but also to a certain extentWeakens the temperature and depth of face-to-face communication
During the holiday season, these digital communication tools can create an illusionThat is, the holiday interaction with colleagues has been completed through ** blessings or likes and comments, etc., thus reducing the motivation to take the initiative to contact.
To sum up, the lack of active contact between colleagues during the Chinese New Year in the system is:A combination of factorsresults. It not only reflects the changes in workplace culture and interpersonal communication patterns in modern society, but also reflects people's new perceptions of personal privacy and holiday celebrations.
In the face of this phenomenon, we may be able toBe more understanding and tolerant of each other's choices and practicesAt the same time, you might as well take the initiative to take a step and useSincerity and enthusiasm to break the silence and barriers, let the warmth of the holiday spread among colleagues.
